Hello, I'll give a sum up of the question first, then explain stuff should one wonder why. In short, only the first gen Rayven is available in my country and it seems to perform less in reviews, so I wonder: "Can you actually swap the flywheel casing with the one from a Stryfe?"

So, better explained; the Rayven Elite and especially the Rayven Stinger are not available in my country. There is one webshop whom I found has a page for the Elite version but last time I sought for a hard-to-get Nerf product this way it turned out not to be available any longer. And this page too states it is not in stock... I fear the worst. So, only my local shop has an old Rayven still collecting dust on the shelf, but it makes me wonder if the flywheel casing has the same size as the one of the Stryfe, are they interchangable?

I really love the bullpup design of this weapon and it looks even more compact and comfortable than a Stryfe with a stock. Now I guess most would say to just grab better motors but it's just that there is a Nerf event this weekend and I'd like to use it there, so no time to wait for orders sadly. I guess most would advice against buying it but that still leaves me curious if the flywheel casings are the same or maybe slightly different and thus wouldn't fit maybe. :unsure:

Edit: Silly enough, I did not look for internals images before making this post, and see now that the flywheel cases are indeed different, my apologies, only realized after writing this post. This topic can be deleted if deemed necessary.

Just take the stryfe motors out of the flywheel casing and put them in the rayven. The casings might be different, but the motors are exactly the same size :)

Gut the electronics, drill a hole in the shell, and attach a crank to the gear. Bam, crank-action stampede that doesn't require batteries, or even a trigger.

...(also judging by your past posts, I would consider you pretty dang wise elder like in the modding community :lol: )

Did you fire as quick as you can pull the trigger? Because I have a Barricade, and it goes a lesser distance when I go as fast as I can pull the trigger. I just fire one dart per second, for my Barricade. Maybe that's the case?
